{{DISPLAYTITLE:Waitz's Run your first marathon}}
[[File:Run-Your-First-Marathon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[http://www.amazon.com/dp/1616080361 Waitz's Run your first marathon].]]
This book is by the nine time winner of the New York City Marathon and the focus of the book is, as the name suggests, the first-time marathon. There is only a single plan, but because the plan is short, the buildup of distance is too quick, so there is a higher risk of injury. There is also relatively little advice on training plans. In some ways this is quite similar to [[Higdon]]'s Novice plan. (This article should be read in conjunction with my [[A Comparison of Marathon Training Plans| Comparison of Marathon Training Plans]].)
